AMELIE MAURESMO reckons HawkEye will not just eliminate dodgy line calls - it will give fans something to shout about.

Already used at the US and Australian Opens, Wimbledon is taking the plunge too and the replay system - which will use five high-speed cameras to create a graphic for close calls - will be in action on the Centre and No.1 showcourts.

And defending women's champion Mauresmo, 27, is a fan. She said: "It's great.

"It's really showing that, at the same time as keeping the traditional part of the tournament, Wimbledon also tries to evolve.

"For the crowd, for the players, and for the people watching on TV it's a good thing. It puts more entertainment into the game.

"The fans will finally be able to get involved a little bit more. They're sharing something extra with the players, I guess, because maybe in tennis they get involved at some times during the games, but not always.

"Maybe sometimes they're kind of frustrated they can't really express what they want. That's an occasion for them to probably let out this frustration at some point.

"It is going to be interesting to see how people in the stands are going to react to that, because they're obviously not used to it. It's really a brand new thing and it's going to be funny to really see how they react."

Each player will be given three challenges in a set, losing a life each time HawkEye proves them wrong. And the image will be shown on giant video screens so the fans can see exactly what is happening.

Cyclops, the beeper used on serves, will still be used on the outside courts.
